[Leica] IMG: First almond blossoms (showing full frame original image)

[Philippe]

Thanks a lot Adam

The bokeh is just triple WOW - when seen large, the « circles » do not display any lighter ring around them, and the transitions are as smooth as a lady’s skin as my Japanese friends used to say (Moshi something as far as I can remember) - Reminds me of my now parted from Angenieux's, which is no small compliment to fuji.

As to the IOS, effective or not I can’t judge by the wind ;-) Maybe later, by the ability of the shooter to shake, or not ;-)

In any case this is a wonderful combo you have and I love this photo !

Thanks for sharing 
Amities

Philippe
